I was waiting for this to happen! I saw plenty of people come close at both NYC and SBPLI. Did it effect the outcome of the match at all?

Team 254's human player succeeded (probably not the right word) at doing this in San Diego. We got a red card for it, resulting in one of the two matches that we've lost this year (the other being another red card in an elimination match).

Why is this a red card?

It is a red card for interfering with mini-bot deployment but only if its on the opposing tower. We did this to our own tower in OKC!

How did they get it off? I would think by taking the pole off the tower completely, but I don't want to assume anything.

My guess would be a box cutter or similar implement.

15 seconds with a scissor perhaps?

At WPI we just sliced them off with box cutters, it happened like this once and got stuck on top another time

This happened at ann arbor but just a little different. You know that little green light on top of the towers, you know what happens when you hit it with a tube? It falls over on it's side. The funny thing is that it still worked and our alliance got minibot points for it. (A minibot did go up it)

This happened at OKC in the finals. It so happened that both teams got red carded, the blue alliance was for hitting another robot in the zone, and the red alliance got red carded for getting the tube on the tower because it was preventing deployment. The red card against the red alliance was eventually taken away when it was determined that the tube was thrown by the red alliance, so they did it to themselves.

They removed the tube with scissors, took them two seconds.

254's mishap with the tower was notable in that they both knocked the lights off of their own tower and rung the opponents tower... with the same tube. It was impressive.

That was at the Livonia District. We had a few tubes go over the towers. Field crew just unbolted the towers, and took them down.

We also lost a set of green lights, which were plugged in after the tower was unbolted and taken down.

The field crew was really fast at it too. Didn't take long.
